The George Washington Power & Promise Fund
GW’s commitment to the power of education and the promise of tomorrow's leaders
This fund will ensure that qualified students, regardless of financial resources, can take full advantage of a GW education.
The GW Power & Promise Fund helps:
- Students to remain at GW with the assurance that they may complete their studies, even when they can afford them the least.
- Graduates to leave here with the knowledge, and the means, to pursue a career in public service
With access to the national leadership and international institutions, our graduates already have a strong foundation of citizen leadership. With a reduced loan burden, they will have the freedom to pursue their dreams unconstrained by student debt.
To help open the doors of opportunity to future GW students, click ‘Give Now’ and select the GW Power & Promise fund. Philanthropic support of the Fund provides the resources today to prepare the global citizens of tomorrow.
To learn how to create an enduring opportunity for generations of future GW students by endowing a scholarship, please contact Matt Banks at mbanks@gwu.edu or 202-994-5125.
